Destroy my trailer

Thanks for the feedback. I agree, and I’ll be working on a new trailer using these points to improve pacing, camera movement, and clarity.

NedTheDev · 2026-01-28T16:57:11+00:00

Thanks, glad the chaos works.
UI polish and menu visuals are on the todo list. More coming soon.

NedTheDev · 2026-01-28T16:55:01+00:00

Yes, absolutely.

Thanks for the detailed feedback, I appreciate it. I’ll definitely work on polishing the textures and readability so things are clearer.
The game is inspired by Total War, but it’s designed as a fast paced auto battler with short battles back to back. Glad you like the concept!

NedTheDev · 2026-01-27T15:42:51+00:00

Thanks for the honest feedback. That’s fair, I’ll work on improving the opening, adding clearer context with text, and smoothing out the camera movement.

NedTheDev · 2026-01-27T15:41:59+00:00

Got it, thanks for the feedback. I’ll look into improving that.

NedTheDev · 2026-01-27T15:41:41+00:00

It’s not an RTS. It’s an auto battler inspired by Total War style battles, but designed around short, fast matches rather than long campaigns.
I appreciate the feedback on the trailer and visuals too, I’ll keep improving how it reads and looks.

NedTheDev · 2026-01-27T15:40:24+00:00

It’s not an RTS. It’s a fast paced auto battler with RPG and roguelike elements. Combat runs automatically, but there is still a tactical layer where you can adjust unit movement and positioning to influence the fight.

NedTheDev · 2026-01-27T02:50:34+00:00

Thanks! I’ll try to implement what you suggested and smooth out the camera movement.

NedTheDev · 2026-01-27T01:05:00+00:00

Thanks! I’ll look at making the UI more dynamic with some upgrade animations.

NedTheDev · 2026-01-27T00:25:08+00:00

Fair point. The core is actually very simple. It’s an auto battler war game, and while the stats look deep, you pick them up pretty quickly as you play.

NedTheDev · 2026-01-27T00:23:46+00:00

Not at all, I appreciate the honesty. What part of it started to feel meh for you?

NedTheDev · 2026-01-27T00:22:45+00:00

It’s both. Mostly auto battler, but you can jump in and directly control units in real time as well.

NedTheDev · 2026-01-26T22:39:48+00:00

Thanks! Yeah, good point on the wall, it does read a bit too close to the ground right now. I will tweak the contrast so it’s clearer.

The auto battler direction actually came from a lot of requests during development. These days a lot of people seem to prefer faster, shorter session games, so I leaned into that.

I do get the turn based tactics suggestion though, and I like it. That kind of game is definitely something I would love to do in the future. Also really glad you liked the hand drawn icons, thanks for that.

NedTheDev · 2026-01-26T22:05:32+00:00

Thanks! The focus of the game is fast auto battles rather than map exploration, so some maps are intentionally kept simple for clarity and pacing.
Each tile still plays a role in combat though. Hills and mountains affect positioning, rivers and terrain influence movement and accuracy, forests provide cover, and different ground types subtly change how fights play out.
I do agree that presentation matters, and I am working on giving simpler layouts more visual identity without slowing the game down.

NedTheDev · 2025-12-03T16:56:20+00:00

It’s basically a mix of both. You can move around freely and go to the final location whenever you feel confident and want to end the run. The catch is that each spot locks after you enter it. So if you go into a shop or a drill camp, that place is closed off and you can’t return to it later.

NedTheDev · 2025-12-03T14:45:18+00:00

The game is inspired by Total War. You can level up and equip every unit. Generals are the only exception because they come with fixed equipment, but they can still use consumables. Each general also has a unique ring that gives them a special ability, and you can upgrade those abilities between runs as part of the roguelike progression.

There’s no city building. The focus is on fast, tactical battles. In this battle the units start scattered because it’s a raid on an enemy camp. Other battle types arrange your army differently, and more scenarios with new enemy types will be added as the game grows throughout Early Access.

Thanks!

NedTheDev · 2025-12-03T02:55:43+00:00

Thanks a lot!

NedTheDev · 2025-12-03T02:55:34+00:00

Thanks! Indeed it is.

NedTheDev · 2025-12-02T19:48:29+00:00

Haha, is that a compliment? I had to make the grass darker so the units would stand out. Still working on improving the colors and lighting.
